Ninety-two meter taxi drivers who were arrested for public violence on the R21 on October 27 are out on bail of R1 500.
The arrests took place during a protest in which meter taxi drivers blocked the R21 and R24.
“The matter has been postponed to January 19,” said Kempton Park SAPS spokesperson Capt Jethro Mtshali.
On Friday, when the drivers appeared in Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court, scores of protesters who had gathered outside the court sang songs in support of those who had been arrested.
During the arrests, the police impounded 70 vehicles alleged to belong to meter taxi owners. The vehicles were used to block the roads. One vehicle had been burnt and another damaged.
